PURPOSEThe intent of this facility review was to examine the inspection and testing program forfire protection systems, review the status of the corrective actions on last year's findingsand identify potential fire protection problems during a walk through of the facilities.2. FIRE PROTECTION SYSTEM INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCERECORDSRecords for the most part are centrally kept with the inspectors and are in good ordershowing that periodic testing and inspections per NFPA are being accomplished.Observation: When problems are encountered during inspections or testing that can notbe corrected on the spot, we recommend listing the work order number that is issued tocorrect the problem. The work order (or project) number should be carried through inrecords for subsequent inspecting/testing intervals until fixed. This was a hit or mississue during random record checks of PlY or sectional valve testing.Observation: Emergency lighting and fire exit sign testing/maintenance is an electricshop function. Recommend the fire inspectors do periodic random fire exit sign andemergency light testing on their area walk through to ensure that this work is beingaccomplished. Emergency lights in some facilities are built into normal ceiling lightfixtures and were hard to identify during the walk through. Recommend marking thosefixtures in some way to identify their locations. Also recommend taking advantage ofany facility power outages and accomplish a walk through as necessary to ensureemergency light and exit sign coverage is adequate.3.
